Dem Who Flipped Mar-a-Lago Blasts GOP ‘Scare’ Campaign

The Democrat who pulled off a shock upset in Donald Trump’s backyard has accused the GOP of an election scare campaign as she hit out at the president’s hypocrisy over mail-in voting. First-time candidate Emily Gregory slammed Trump and the Republican Party for using “scare” tactics to question the integrity of elections. She accused the president of hypocrisy for claiming mail-in voting was cheating while using the remote method to vote in the district election along with his wife, Melania, and son, Barron. Gregory also said she won partly by ignoring the president, casting her victory in a traditionally red state seat as a warning to MAGA candidates who tie themselves to Trump at the expense of voters. “He was not a part of my campaign, whereas my opponent put him at the forefront of his campaign,” she told the Daily Beast. “It was on all of his literature and he touted the (president’s) endorsement at every turn, so that was a big part of his race. But I think the results show that the real issues for voters are more important, rather than what the president’s personal opinion is.” Gregory’s victory in Florida’s 87th district—long considered safely Republican territory and home to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate—sent tremors through an already worried GOP ahead of the midterm elections.

It feels like we're taking this country back, district by district.

Shocking, focusing on issues rather than people gets people elected.
